Hi!
When playing back audio only files with e.g. the MP3 or the Podcatcher plugin ( pmAudioOnly mode ), the playback suddenly stops, if a recording from the primary device starts (I'm using a full featured and a budget card with 1.3.48). There's no problem, if I force the recording to the budget card.
Besides this, if I restart the audio playback while the recording is running from the primary device, I can't see the live picture anymore. If I start the recording, stop the recording and then start the audio playback, the screen is black as well. If I switch to another channel and back before starting the audio playback, it correctly shows the live picture again.
I'm not sure, whether this is a VDR bug or a plugin bug, but I assume the problem can be found in VDR. The plugins initialize the player with cPlayer(pmAudioOnly).
Any ideas?
bye,
Tobias

This has been discussed some time ago.
As a recording has to (at least potentionaly) switch the channel and the live video occupies the device, the player has to be aborted. If you would use "black" mode in MP3-plugin, the player won't be aborted (device not occupied).
When you're recording on primary device and watching live TV, VDR uses transfer mode. Transfer mode counts as a player and there can only be one player at a time. So if you starts MP3-plugin in this situation, transfer mode is aborted and you ends up with no video.
It's not a bug, it's a feature.
Regards.

Exactly, the transfer mode is stopped at the next channel switch only.
